A 16th century ring found in Lapworth is set to go to auction, with some reports suggesting it may be linked to the leader of the Gunpowder Plot due to a "sinister" inscription. The discovery of the ring appears to be unrelated to recent events in the area, including a fatal crash and the closure of local pubs. The ring's connection to the Gunpowder Plot is implied, but details about its history and significance are not fully clear.
